Company description

C'era una volta un paesino nel cuore delle cave di marmo bianco di Carrara raggiungibile solo a piedi: Colonnata e i suoi 300 abitanti. Per secoli ci siamo nutriti tranquilli di quel lardo salato e profumato con erbe e spezie che conservavamo nelle conche di marmo nelle nostre cantine. Alimento perfetto per il duro lavoro nelle cave ed è entrato nel mio DNA. A metà degli anni '90 il mondo si è accorto del nostro "patrimonio" ed ha cercato di appropriarsene. Mi sono messo a capo dei miei compaesani e, con l'aiuto della regione Toscana e del Ministero delle politiche agricole, dopo lunghe battaglie legali, sono riuscito a proteggerne il nome e la storia con il riconoscimento comunitario: Lardo di Colonnata IGP. Il marmo sta alla scultura come il lardo sta all'enfleurage; a me il compito di farne un'esperienza inebriante. Con la mia azienda desidero rendere disponibile al mondo questo prodotto nel modo migliore. Per questo ho scelto di offrirlo sia in pezzi che preaffettato o spalmabile. L'Arte del lardo. Questo sono io e vi invito ad entrare nel mio mondo.

Fausto Guadagni Once upon a time, there was a hamlet in the core of the Carrara white marble quarries that can be reached only on foot: Colonnata and its 300 inhabitants. For centuries we fed quietly on that salted backfat flavoured with herbs and spices that we kept in the marble basins in our cellars. Perfect food for the hard work in the quarries and it entered my DNA. In the mid-90s the world became aware of our "heritage" and tried to appropriate it. I put myself in charge of my fellow villagers and with the help of the Tuscany region and the Ministry of Agricultural Policies, after long legal battles, I got in protecting its name and history with the EU recognition: Lardo di Colonnata PGI. Marble is to sculpture as backfat is to enfleurage; to me the task of making it a charming experience. With my firm, I wish to make this product available to the world in the most convenient way. For this reason, the choice to offer it either in pieces or pre-sliced or spreadable. The Art of backfat. This is me and I invite you to join my world. Fausto Guadagni

Vergazzata- Pancetta tesa di Colonnata/ Colonnata's seasoned plain bacon

Another traditional Colonnata product: Alongside the backfat, bacon is meticulously crafted from Italian swine meat within 72 hours of slaughter. The salting process takes place in marble vats using only natural sea salt, herbs, and spices, lasting a mere 10 days. Following this, the bacon is washed with white wine and coated with fresh spices. A minimum aging period of 3 months ensues. This bacon exhibits a well-balanced distribution of fat and lean portions, with a rich peppery seasoning visibly coating its surface. The aroma bursts with the essence of spices, notably pepper, cinnamon, and cloves. On the palate, the pepper makes a bold return, delivering a soft and succulent texture, exceptional chewiness, and a delightful melt-in-the-mouth quality. Its extended aging not only makes it perfect for cooking but also renders it an excellent choice as cold cuts. **Ingredients:** • Pork bacon of Italian origin, natural sea salt, peeled and coarsely chopped garlic, fresh rosemary, a blend of spices, and aromatic herbs.

Fasciata- Pancetta Steccata/wooden-stave-wrapped Bacon

Another traditional Colonnata’s product is the wooden-stave-wrapped bacon, Alongside the backfat, bacon is meticulously crafted from Italian swine meat within 72 hours of slaughter. The bacon is trimmed, massaged with salt, and placed in special marble containers, locally known as "conche," previously rubbed with garlic. After 15 days of salting, the bacon is removed, washed with white wine, dried, folded, hand-sewn, and pressed between two wooden boards. Aging takes place in poorly ventilated rooms without any forced conditioning for a period of not less than 5 months. With the ivory-colored fatty part dominating over the lean, a captivating interplay of scents characterizes the olfactory profile of this wooden-stave-wrapped bacon: pepper, garlic, rosemary, hints of cinnamon, and nutmeg, reminiscent of pastry. In the mouth, there is an extraordinary balance between sweet and savory sensations, and a melt-in-the-mouth quality that carries the flavors into an exceptionally long finish. Ingredients: • Pork belly of Italian origin, natural sea salt, peeled and coarsely chopped garlic, fresh rosemary, a mixture of spices and aromatic herbs.

PAT (Traditional Tuscan Food Product)
Guanciale di Conca Colonnata Pork Jowl

Processed similarly to "Vergazzata" (dry salting in marble basin with natural sea salt, herbs, and spices), but with a shorter salting time (7 days) and the appropriate fat consistency. It exhibits a well-balanced distribution of fat and lean sections, with a visible peppery seasoning on the surface. The intense blend of spices engages the nose, and the extended aging renders it suitable not only for cooking but also as a cold cut. In the mouth, it offers a melting fat with a long-lasting presence. Ingredients: • Pork jowl of Italian origin, natural sea salt, peeled and coarsely chopped garlic, fresh rosemary, a mixture of spices and aromatic herbs.
